FIREPLACE STOVE.

.Application filed April a3, 1924. Serial No. 708,476.

This invention relates to fireplace stoves and aims to provide novel means for utilizing the heat radiating from the rear wall of the fireplace for heating the room in which the fireplace stoveis positioned.

Another important objectof the inven-' tion is to provide a device of this character which will cause the air in the room to circulate, insuring ventilation.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will. appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter de scribed andclaimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without do: parting from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a fireplace constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional -view through the fireplace.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the fireplace stove includes spaced walls 5 and 6 respectively, the walls being irregularly 3. formed as clearly illustrated by Figure '3 of the drawings to increase the heatingspace of the passageway and insure a thorou heating of the air as it passes therethroug The wall5 is formed with external horia zontal ribs 5, the wall 6 being undulated and defining horizontal grooves 6' into which the ribs project. V

Formed in the wall 5 are bores 7 which may be. provided with couplings at their ends, whereby-suitable pipes leading to radiators may be attached, thereby utilizing the heat radiating from the rear wall and which usually passes upwardly throughthe chimney, for heating the water in the bores where it may-be lead to the radiators in an adjoining room for heating purposes.

As shown, the bottom wall 9 of the fire place stove is spaced from the wall 10 thereof, providing a passageway the front wall of the heated ll 'doors 18 and stove constructed at the bottom of the fireplace stove, which communicates with the passageway between the walls 5 and 6, there being provided a register 11 in fireplace stove to allow air to pass into the passageway between the walls 9 and 10.

In order that stove may be readily removed, a closure 12 is provided for normally closing the chute 13 formed in the bottom of the fireplace stove, it being understood that the closure 12 may be removed,permitting the ashes to fall from the fireplace stove.

As clearly shown by Figure 3 of the drawings, a pipe 1 L establishes communication with the space between walls 5 and 6, and the interior of an adjacent room, the pipe providingmeans to allow air to be drawn into thep'assageway ventilating the adjacent room.

Located at the upper end of the passage way provided between the walls 5 and 6 is a register 15 which may be operated to allow air that passes throughthe passageway to enter the room at a point above the fireplace stove. f

A damper 17 is provided in the pipe16 for controlling the passage of heat through the pipe. V

The forward portion of the fireplace stove maybe open, but in the present showing, 19 are illustrated, as having the ashes from the fireplacehinged connection with the frame or body 7 portion of the fireplace stove, the doors beformed with suitable openings controlled by slides, whereby air passing through the openings may be controlled.

- From the foregoing it'will be obvious that scribed, it is possible to position a fireplace in accordance with the invention, eliminating the necessity of making alterations in the usual built in fireplace stove now in common use. 7

' I claim A fireplace stove to be positioned in a fireplace, said stove including an inner wall and an outer wall spaced from the inner wall, said inner wall having a lower horizontal due to the construction. as shown and de-- portion spaced from the bottom of the outer lower end portion, and said passageway hav- Wall, the rear Wall having a plurality of ing inlet and outlet openings.

curved outwardly disposed horizontal ribs, In testimony that I claim the foregoing 10 said outer wall being undulated defining as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signa- 3 horizontal grooves into which certain of the ture. ribs project, thereby providing an irregular passageway having a substantially w de v
